The greens at Glen
Gorse Golf Club are regarded as some of the
finest in the county and to keep them in top
condition it is essential that any pitchmarks are
repaired as soon as possible. You may repair any
pitchmarks on the green before putting.
Correctly repairing
pitchmarks on the green takes a little time to do it
properly but will improve the quality of our greens.
Why not practice a little during your next round?
Correct Method
Discard the
loose piece of turf taken out by the ball
Insert the
pitchmark repairer tool just outside of the back
of the pitchmark
Lever the
turf towards the centre of the
pitchmark
Repeat this
motion from all sides of the pitchmark
Gently tap
the repaired area with your putter. This action
stretches undamaged turf over the pitchmark,
providing instant recovery
Incorrect Method
DO NOT
replace the loose piece of turf taken out by the
ball. It will die and delay the healing process.
DO NOT pry up
the centre of the depression with the pitchmark
repairer as it exposes the soil and will delay
the healing process
DO NOT insert
the pitchmark repairer and twist it. This only
breaks more turf loose
